I feed an invisible cat too! I love cats but not permitted to keep one due to the body corporate decision in my building. So recently I began putting food out on a table near the back door and “someone” has begun to eat after dark. This kitty is very particular and only likes Dine Desire with the blue label. Anything else is picked at and the majority left discarded on the plate. With the Blue Label variety the plate is licked clean. I’m dying to meet this kitty one day. I’m sure it must be a cat because if it was a rat it wouldn’t be so fussy :)

Welcome

Qarrtsiluni (2005-2013) was a groundbreaking online literary magazine, one of the first to fully exploit blog software. Though we never quite realized our dream of creating a print-on-demand option for each issue, being online does mean that our back issues remain accessible indefinitely, so there's that. And we published some damn fine stuff — check it out.
